The new finding put forward by a Duke University researcher was published in a paper in the journal European Review this week According to Adrian Bejan, the J. A Jones Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Duke, the physical changes of our nerves and neurons play, a major role in our perception (知覺) of time as we get old. Over the years these structures bee more plex and eventually begin to degrade.故選D。 （2）考查推理判斷。Along the street.（3）What can we infer from the research? A.Less fluid.（2）Where can plants grow better according to Hadany? A. A monthlong experiment conducted by the Royal Horticultural Society in 2009 found female voices appear to speed up the growth of tomatoes. The research offers a possible explanation — women39。 However, Prof Hadany said a plant39。故選B。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。Humanized robots offer less help to people.B.How to treat them in life.C. According to Sari Nijssen, the study set out to answer the following question: Under what circumstances would adults be willing to sacrifice robots to save human lives? The participants were faced with a hypothetical (假設(shè)的) moral dilemma: Would they be prepared to put a single person at risk in order to save a group of injured persons? In the situations presented the intended victim was either a human, a humanoid robot that had been humanized (人性化的) to various degrees or a robot that was clearly recognizable as a machine.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的Adult language learners of a second language may use their declarative memory for using grammar patterns.可知，成年語言學習者在學習第二語言時，是刻意地在使用語法句式。Human beings learn language in pre human area of brain.【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）C（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，講述Michael Ullman和他的團隊的研究稱人類大腦前區(qū)的為語言學習區(qū)，由此解開了人類大腦進化過程之謎。Declarative memory.B.By examining the brain with his team.B.Oh, remember what you said last night39。 processed in two ancient learning and memory systems in the brain. Ullman, Hamrick and the rest of the team looked at data from 16 other studies on language. They found that people learn language using two memory systems: declarative and procedural. Memorizing vocabulary, for example, is a declarative memory process. But learning grammar is, mostly, a procedural memory process.By referring to data from other studies on language.（2）Which of the following is an example of motor memory? A.A second language.（4）What39。根據(jù)第五段中的“Ullman, Hamrick and the rest of the team looked at data from 16 other studies on language.”可知，該團隊通過研究其他語言學習的成果，得出的結(jié)論，故選D。根據(jù)第三段中的“Ullman says his research shows that the human brain does not have a special area or system for making language. Over time we have simply reused or coopted (指派) parts of our brain for language.”以及全文可知，人類的語言學習是由大腦前區(qū)完成的，該區(qū)域早于人類本身。 The study suggested that the more the robot was humanized, the less likely participants were to sacrifice it. Situations that included vivid stories in which the robot was described as a merciful being or as a creature with its own understandings, experiences and thoughts, were more likely to stop the study participants from sacrificing it in the interests of anonymous (無名的) humans.when to sacrifice a robotB.Conflicts often happen between humans and robots.（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. （2）考查細節(jié)理解。因此標題“機器人被拯救，人類就會承受打擊”最切題，故選C。 response to bees39。In the woods.Plants respond to sounds slowly and ecologically.D.B.s voices improve plants39。從而推斷可知，在叢林里的植物生長得更好。s ears to help them detect the sound of approaching insects.”及全文內(nèi)容可知，文章主要講述人與植物的交流可以促其生長。ve got your aging brain to blame. This is likely due largely to the physical changes of our nerves and neurons (神經(jīng)元).

In fact So there will still be jobs in the age of AI. The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can do them. This must be the responsibility not just of the government, which can provide funds, but also of corporations and those who benefit most.（1）What is the main purpose of paragraph 1? A.Be inferior toUpgrade people39。而后文主要與人工智能有關(guān),由此推斷作者寫第一段的目的是引出人工智能這個話題。人工智能不可能像科學家,小說家和藝術(shù)家那樣進行發(fā)明創(chuàng)造。7．閱讀理解 . helps to avoid various mistakes contributes to one39。. is always a waste of time to make plans about the future is human nature to make attempts on what looks impossible should always challenge the impossible to push the society forward has to use wisdom in deciding what is the best thing to do【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）D（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了人類的大腦在20歲左右于巔峰，在以后的成就多數(shù)是因為需要豐富的經(jīng)驗。根據(jù)對愛因斯坦所的發(fā)現(xiàn)可知，他的偉大的發(fā)現(xiàn)是在2025歲之間，更是印證了人類大腦在20年代初達到了巔峰，可推斷出，本段主要研究人類大腦巔峰期，故選B。最重要的是了解人性，了解真實的人是如何行為和反應(yīng)的，以及人們希望他們?nèi)绾涡袨楹头磻?yīng)的。故選D
